Mengding Mountain

| Ya'an Mengding Mountain. Mengding Mountain is one of the birthplaces of China's tea planting industry and tea culture. More than two thousand years ago, during the Western Han Dynasty, the tea master Wu Lizhen began to domesticate and plant wild tea trees on Mengding Mountain, marking the beginning of the history of artificial tea planting. The Tang and Song dynasties were the heyday of Mengshan tea. Therefore, the historically significant Mengding tea is known as 'Immortal Tea,' and Mengshan is hailed as the 'Hometown of Immortal Tea.' In 1998, the well-known 'Hometown of Immortal Tea,' Mingshan County, was established as a national-level tea standard demonstration area approved by the National Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau. One of the innate conditions for tea is the soil. The tea-producing area of Mengding Mountain has a rich and diverse topography, with a large distribution of low mountains and hills, and significant undulations. The natural vegetation in the tea area is very good, the soil has strong drainage, there is plenty of precipitation but little waterlogging, mist and clouds linger, rain and heat occur in the same season, and the frequency of drought is extremely low, providing the most excellent conditions for the formation of high-quality tea. With the right climate and geographical advantages, nature has bestowed Mengding Mountain with the perfect environment, naturally producing excellent tea. Transportation: Traveling from Chengdu towards Ya'an, after passing the Chengdu Plain, one enters the Mengding Mountain tea area composed of plains, plateaus, and hills. The endless, invisible tea gardens immediately immerse one in a sea of green waves.

The most beautiful hiking routes around Chengdu, the tea mountains are incredibly healing. In the human world of March and April, when all things grow, the sunshine is bright, and it's the perfect time for tea picking and spring outings. I always wondered why ancient people favored praising the tea from Mengding Mountain: 'The heart of the Yangtze River holds its water, the top of Meng Mountain holds its tea.' It wasn't until this trip to Mengding Mountain that I understood the beauty of Mengding Mountain and the freshness of Mengding tea~ We visited the Niu Nianping Ten Thousand Mu Sightseeing Tea Garden on Mengding Mountain, which was once the starting point of the ancient Tea Horse Road. With the arrival of spring, tens of thousands of mu of tea trees grow wildly here, covering the entire mountaintop with greenery. Looking around, the tea trees on the hills are like rows of green waves, undulating and overwhelmingly beautiful. Wandering in this boundless greenery, hiking and picking tea, breathing in the fresh air, is truly healing. It's very suitable for escaping the city with friends and family on the weekend, to relax in the surroundings.

The tea mountain in Ya'an is different from other tea mountains, with abundant rainfall all year round, the early morning here is the realm of Penglai with rising clouds; at noon, the fog disperses, and the scattered sunlight gives the tea garden the brightest side. Walking along the path, heading deep into the tea mountain, at the end of the path is a two-story courtyard With red sandstone walls, and earth bricks and old wooden beams to decorate each room, giving a sense of closeness to the ancient courtyard. The courtyard also retains two old pear trees of several decades and more than a dozen straight ginkgo trees. When autumn comes, the golden leaves slowly fall, and the courtyard will be another scene! Inside the courtyard is a rammed earth wall built in the ancient method, revealing the traces of time passing unique to the countryside under the green tiles and white walls.

Mengding Mountain, also known as Meng Mountain, is a transitional area from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Western Sichuan Plain, located between Yucheng District and Mingshan District of Ya'an City, which is known as 'the place where the sky leaks'. The highest peak is Shangqing Peak, with an altitude of 1456 meters. Mengding Mountain is named for its 'misty and drizzly weather', and due to its annual rainfall of over 2000 millimeters, it was historically known as 'the leaking sky of Western Sichuan'. Speaking of Mengding Mountain, we all know a couplet: 'The water in the Yangtze River, the tea on the top of Meng Mountain'. This couplet refers to the 'immortal tea' of Mengding Mountain, which is also known as the 'World Tea Culture Holy Mountain' because it is the birthplace of tea. The Mengding Mountain scenic area consists of two main scenic spots: Meng Mountain and Baizhang Lake, and it is one of the first batch of provincial-level scenic spots in Sichuan. The Tiangai Temple is located on the top of Mengding Mountain, founded during the Han Dynasty and rebuilt in the Song Dynasty. The temple covers an area of 8000 square meters, facing the mountains from afar, surrounded by 12 ancient ginkgo trees that are a thousand years old. In the center is the Ming Dynasty stone pillar hall, where the tea master Wu Lizhen built his hut and planted tea. Inside the hall, there is a full-body seated statue of Master Wu Lizhen, with displays of pictures, texts, and artifacts showing the history of Mengding tea. This place is the best spot for tasting Mengding tea. In front of the temple and behind the hall, there is an ancient stele forest with many inscriptions, among which the 'Great Mengding Mountain of the World' stele is the most famous.
